Frequently Asked Questions
Is the draw truly fair and random?
Yes, the tool uses the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm, the gold standard for producing an unbiased random permutation where every participant has an equal chance.
Are duplicate entries filtered out?
Yes, duplicate participants are removed automatically before the draw so no one can win twice by accident.
Can I pick more than one winner?
Yes, just set the number of winners. Each winner is unique – no participant is drawn twice.
What happens if I ask for more winners than participants?
The tool stops and shows a warning so you can either lower the winner count or add more participants.
Is the participant list kept private?
Yes, absolutely. All processing happens in your browser – no names, emails, or any PII is ever sent to a server.
Is this winner picker free to use?
Yes, completely free with unlimited draws, unlimited participants, and no registration required.
Does it work offline?
Yes, after the page loads the tool works entirely offline with no need for an internet connection.
How many participants can I include?
You can include thousands of participants – the Fisher-Yates algorithm runs in under 5 milliseconds even for long lists.
Can I re-run the draw?
Yes, you can re-draw as many times as you want. Each draw is a new independent random permutation.
